THE Kwara State government has sanctioned a school teacher, Mrs Fatimoh Hamzat, for assaulting a youth corps member posted to Government Day Junior Secondary School, Kulende, Ilorin, the state capital.
In a joint statement by the state’s Commissioner for Education and Human Capital Development, Hajia Sa’adatu Modibbo-Kawu, and the chairman of the Kwara State Teaching Service Commission, Mal. Bello Abubakar, the state government, said, “The investigative panel set up on the matter found Hajia Hamzat Fatimoh Nike guilty of fighting on duty, use of foul language, insubordination, and disrespect for the national identity which the uniform of the corps members represents.
“Her behaviour contravenes public service rules, and she has therefore been demoted by two-grade level.
“The teacher is also to be transferred out of her current school as well as undergo counselling sessions,” the statement added.
Meanwhile, the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has withdrawn all other corps members attached to the said secondary school for the same reason.
